but when you look at early voting, obviously that was in place before sandy. the president talking today with his new modified stump speech really detailing the folks he's fighting for. he says whether they're in urban area or a rural area, this is what i am fighting for, this very passionate speech as part of his closing argument. >> yeah, i think you're right, tamron. what president obama has done in the past week with sandy can only help him. you have 78% of the american public thinks he's done a good job. that's republicans and democrats. think he's done a good job in handling the sandy situation. and the hurricane relief efforts. and then you look at the early voting, as was just mentioned a moment ago, the president has a 35-point advantage in early voting in iowa. a 30-point advantage in ohio. i'm down in florida right now in tampa. he has an early voting advantage here in florida as well, a state that's still neck and neck. and he's making a very effective closing argument that's buoyed by the economic news that came out today. we had consumer confiden

it's where sandy made landfall first. let's go back to cape may, new jersey, where nbc's jay gray is there. how are things looking? we spoke last hour. any change there? >> chris, i'd love to tell you the winds have dropped off, but they have not. they are still howling here. still swirling. and really still driving at 50 miles an hour or more with gusts well above that. look, you make an excellent point there when you talk about people involved and trees falling. i don't want people who may hear this to be lulled into any kind of clomplacency that this storm made landfall. as we talked about last hour, it passed here several hours ago. we're seeing the strongest effects of sandy right now. so any thought it's safe to go out and take a look around is, frankly, just ridiculous at this point. we talked to the police chief here who says he won't get his men out until the storm is completely clear. if it's not safe for the first responders, it's certainly not safe for anyone who decided to ride this storm out, chris. >> all r

hurricane sandy aside what do you think? >> think these are great stories that's beyond inside baseball, inside the dugout stuff and it's always fun to speculate what if. craig, i was always under the impression you were governor romney's number one choice. couldn't get out of the msnbc contract. you never know. these are fun stories to talk about. i think at the end of the day governor romney got who we wanted. governor romney feeds off of paul ryan's energy. >> let's talk about tuesday here chip. based on the polling that we just reported out of florida, the polling that we've been reporting out of ohio for some time now, it would seem at least, it would seem as if governor romney's path to 270 is far more narrow than it was a month and a half ago. >> i would even say a month and a half ago it was a steeper uphill climb. his campaign has done a read job. we can tell you we don't believe these polls. the bottom line is florida, we know he has to put in his pocket. he has to get virginia. if he gets those two there's a path

all throughout the day with coverage of sandy. meantime, nbc meteorologist dialen dryer is back with the very latest of the forecast track. dylan, another good morning to you. >> thanks, alex. good morning. we are looking at this storm as a weakening storm system right now, but that does not change the characteristics. it is still a very strong tropical storm, and there's a good chance it is going to strengthen back into a category 1 hurricane as we go into monday. right now it has sustained winds at 70 miles per hour. it is still moving to the north/northeast. and it is going to follow this path, parallel to the eastern seaboard. all the way until monday. monday night, in fact. that's when it is going to take that turn to the northwest. the outer bands of rain, light rain, across the shores of south carolina and moving up into north carolina. we will see this storm actually get sandwiched between these two systems. cold front stalled to our west and an area of high pressure to our north and east. the storm then is going to go bet
